This is the sequel to Innocent Mage that I read around December/January.
It was every bit as good as the it's predecessor.
"The evil foretold has risen ... and we are all that stands between it and the end"
Asher has come a long way for a fisherman's son. Together with his friend Prince Gar, he has defended their kingdom against its bitterest enemy, but at great cost.
Now the evil mage Morg is preparing for his most deadly assault. Desperate, trapped in a broken body Morg has little time and fewer scruples. And he has a plan.
As Gar and Asher unwittingly fall into a dangerous deception, Morg gets ever closer to his goal. And this victory would be particularly sweet - for who better to destroy the kingdom than the two who would give anything to save it? (bumph from back of book)
As with the previous book, once I got into this one, I found I couldn't put it down. If you are interested in reading the pair, I suggest that you manage to get hold of both at once, as the literal "cliff hanger" at the end of Innocent Mage made me want to read on.
I just got another of Karen Miller's books, but again it is one of a pair, and I think I will try to get hold of the second before reading.
Have a dig around Karen Miller's website to find out more.

Have just noticed on the site, the second of the new duo I have bought is published on Monday!
